This goes against all the decluttering advice I've been trying to absorb!

I learned this from the public schools I attended growing up:
“If it’s broke, don’t fix it.”

This was in a young adult novel I read as a teen:
If it's only a money problem, then it's not the end of the world.
Different words but that's the sense of it.
Not altogether true but it's the kind of thing that can help one survive those times.
My second one for any terrible event:
You will later be on the other side looking back at this.

My dad's was:
Every problem has a solution.
Corollary:
If there's no solution, it's not a problem, it's a situation.
But I suspect it's something he picked up in the Army (drafted at the end of WWII).

Have lived with anxiety for a long time: "In this moment, I am okay." I always am, even when I think I wouldn't or couldn't be.

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

This. But I thought it was a Michael Jordan quote.
I once was a reader for a high school scholarship competition. Two students had the same inspirational quote but one attributed it to Sun Tzu and the other to a famous football coach. I thought they couldn't both be right but it turned out that the football coach was indeed known to quote Sun Tzu.

Everything in moderation, including moderation.
Trust in God but lock your car.
Bloom where you’re planted.
Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant with the weak and wrong. Sometime in your life, you will have been all of these.

Lesson from riding a bike/motorcycle/snowboard: don't look at the thing you're trying to avoid. Look where you want to go.
